Some nice specimens here! I used to go dig sapphires in Montana and opals in Nevada at the Virgin Valley mines. Gave everything away though over the years. Too old and beat up to go digging opals again.

I love crystals, minerals, gems and such. As a kid i had a fascination with them, now as an adult, I am able to appreciate them. I have a small collection, but over the past year have really been getting maybe one piece a week or so.
In a couple weeks i will be going hunting for quartz, and anything else I can find, at Crystal Peak near the CA/NV border line, off the 80. Heres a Amethyst from Kenya,

oh Opals, how I love thee
they are art in stone, so stunning here is my Chinese Calcite, it's around 25 pounds, maybe more, defiantly feels like a lot more than a dog food bag, need to weigh it
